Liverpool go back to the top after James Milner converts late penalty at Fulham

The penalty Replays show that Mane made the most of the contact from Rico. I still think it was a penalty, though. Rico panicked when he dropped Salah’s shot and instinctively put hands on Mane, who did the rest.

“We won the game. Mistakes happen in football – it is what it is. We go again. I’m not going to make excuses, I should have dealt with it better. It’s a massive win. We knew it would be a very tough game. We made it difficult for ourselves; we weren’t calm enough on the ball, and then my mistake made it even more exciting.”

James Milner

“It was me who put him in the mire, to be fair. The gaffer said to come on and calm it down, and the best thing to do is slice it over the top and put Virg under pressure, which wasn’t ideal. Luckily we got the result. It was important to put the penalty away and make up for their goal, which was my fault.”

Sadio Mane was again Liverpool’s star man. He scored a fine goal in the first half and won the late penalty that was converted by James Milner. There were seven minutes of misery for Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, who combined to give Ryan Babel an equaliser in the 74th minute. But Mane, who is in storming form at the moment, and Milner made it all okay by combining for the winner in the 81st minute.
